3) Gary O’Neil – Bournemouth
A slightly less surprising candidate for the sack as he was appointed prior to the Cherries’ takeover by American businessman Bill Foley.
Following a number of new additions in January, O’Neil will be expected to turn around the club’s fortunes after dropping into the relegation zone.
His win percentage of just 20% is not great so there could be a change in the hot seat at the Vitality Stadium between now and May.
